A member asked:

Is it possible for someone with epilepsy to have seizures even with medication an occasional one is it cureable or a lifetime condition?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seizures: Seizure disorders can be caused by multiple problems and can be very complex to treat. Many times it requires multiple meds in order to bring seizures under control, depending on the condition that causes them. The same is the truth with their duration. Some resolve early in life, some are transient and others may last a lifetime.
